Service Description: The average number of combined hot days and tropical nights in the period 1987-2016 was calculated based on the E-OBS dataset , which is agridded data with 0.25° spatial resolution, based on over 10,000 stations across Europe. The value of the nearest-distance grid point to the city centroid was used as the value for that city.

Title: Annual number of combined summer days (Tmax>30 C) and tropical nights (Tmin>20 C) per year (1987-2016 average).
Author:
Comments: The average number of combined hot days and tropical nights in the period 1987-2016 was calculated based on the E-OBS dataset , which is agridded data with 0.25° spatial resolution, based on over 10,000 stations across Europe. The value of the nearest-distance grid point to the city centroid was used as the value for that city.
Subject: The combination of hot days and warm nights is particularly dangerous to human health, as the high temperatures during night time does not allow for the cities and buildings to cool down. Such combination, if lasting over several days (heatwaves) can have severe health implications or even be fatal to the elderly, babies or those in poor health. Therefore, the knowledge of the occurrence of such conditions in a given location can be useful in planning adaptation to the changing climate and protection of the vulnerable groups from heat.
